Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home <3 In the time honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
I promise I’ll work on Element soon uwu
Happy fake May Day in the US tomorrow!!!
Joke is on the US, by putting our labor day away from may, they just gave us 2 Labor day…
As an American I’m pissed that we don’t do May Day. I mean ffs Chicago’s Haymarket riots are literally the reason for the holiday existing
Apparently Chen Weihua will be a guest speaker at our party event in a few weeks lol
Does anyone have any good Marxist YouTube channels that focus on European topics? A lot of good marxist channels focus on US topics and while that’s not a bad thing, I would like a channel that discusses European topics.
A lot of points in the US focussed YouTube channels are good, but I can’t always bring them up in conversation with Europeans because they have a socdem mentality of ‘yeah, but we’re better than the US bro’
I’d also be interested in this. In terms of modern events, the closest I’ve found is Breakthrough News (they definitely focus on Amerika, but they have some good content related to Europe)
Marxist Paul (Ireland) , Yugopnik (Balkans), The Kavernacle (UK) (not Marxist but leftist/anti-capitalist, talks about social events in the west including Europe), those are three I watch, Yugopnik is my favorite, he’s my beautiful bean.
(Beware that Marxist Paul is a Maoist who thinks China is imperialist)
That was a HUGE curveball for me when I first started watching him lmao. All of his vids are like “what is Dialectics?101” or like “Who was John Connolly?” So I was like Oh hell yea he mentioned ICA and Starry Plough! Respect. And I was confused about Maoists and Imperialism at the time so I saw his vid and also his vid on Russian “Imperialism” in 2022 and I didn’t buy it. He has some great vids and some that I disagree with
The Russia Imperialism video was just bad, he got so emotional and I felt bad thinking it was so trash
True!! Paul is not good 100% of the time, but like 70-75% of his stuff tends to be great.
the finnish bolshevik
regarding him, it’s worth mentioning this section of @dessalines’s GitHub repo (last item at the time of writing)
Jesus Christ, what the fuck was that?
First time really scrolling reddit in a while, found out there are literal Pro-ED, anorexia-fetishizing subs on there. Yep, definitely not going back on that hellsite

According to Bloomberg, 60% of British factories are expected to go under this winter. How’s the “hybrid war” going, NATO?
Gonna be a rough winter in the west.
If you need any help with Matrix, I can help, MXID is on my profile!
I just got a notification (for some reason, I live in Belgium so idk why) that the state of Queen Lizzy is bad and that she’s under surveillance right now.
LADS ITS HAPPENING
time to prepare a massive crab
At my job, people started actually yelling at each other in a shared moment of anger about the energy prices. Everyone is completely fed up.
I think a revolution might actually happen. Never before have I seen this amount of rage on a daily basis.
I really hope ML parties use this opportunity, or it’ll probably just end up as vaguely organized riots
Working on it
This whole queen dying thing actually broke something in me I think. Like, I´m incredibly furious. Disgusted by the bullshit people throw into the world.
Im extremely sad that people in my country mexico care so much about the queen death.
Gorbachev dies and a few days later so does the queen. As Chaplin said in The Great Dictator: “So long as men die, liberty will never perish.”
My neighbors are flying their upside down US flag and “we support the police” flag at half mast today
Had a dream where I loved soccer (football if youre not a godfearing freedom loving murican) because it played like Jigglypuff (my main) in smash bros melee, gonna watch soccer today and see if its good at all. (I play the game (melee) competitively, locally that is, and am involved with the pro scene. My GC controller broke tho :( )
soccer […] played like Jigglypuff
I’ll have to ask you to elaborate, ma’am
The players are typical spacies netplay mains, the ball is glorious
that’s an interesting dream
This wasn’t the dream lol, the dream involved soccer confined in a small area with platforms, similar to battlefield, the stage. However I was playing as the ball, angling myself to be kicked with a gc controller. I also had a school play where I never learned any of my lines and was cosplaying as a character from a show I haven’t watched in years. The guy who had a scene with me was some figment of my imagination, but he was good friends with my sister.
sounds about as coherent as dreams usually are
There is a thread on the Dutch socialist subreddit about increasing poverty on schools with children not eating an entire weekend and passing out in class.
So I called for action. To unite the leftist sentiment to do something. Anyone with a suggestion is welcome to set up an action as a left collective.
So far the suggestions are: donate to charity.
The Dutch problem will resolve itself because everyone starved to death and no one can be arsed to actually get out there and do something.
I hope someone comes up with an actual suggestion.
Starting le gym grind again 👍

Awesome! Just remember to not try to jump in too heavy. As @simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml put it “a consistent habit is better than a perfect habit”.
I am getting a good routine again as well, but a couple months ago I got started and just tried to be too perfect and ended up feeling worn out as hell. Turns out I wasn’t drinking or eating enough to complement how hard I was pushing my muscles.
So just be gentle with yourself as you get started up!
Had the idea pop into my head of a rendition fo Baka Mitai from the Yakuza games, except it’s my vocals and I give as much socks as I can, playing it when something unfortunate yet funny happens during a stream. Then I remembered my singing voice and the effort involved and whoof
